Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a two stage process for catalytically reforming a gasoline boiling range hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
  • the reforming is conducted in two stages wherein the first stage is operated in a fixed bed mode, and the second stage is operated in a moving-bed continual catalyst regeneration mode.
  • a gaseous stream comprised of hydrogen and predominantly C 4 " hydrocarbon gases are separated between stages and at least a portion of it is recycled.
  • Catalytic reforming is a well established refinery process for improving the octane quality of naphthas or straight run gasolines. Reforming can be defined as the total effect of the molecular changes, or hydrocarbon reactions, produced by dehydrogenation of cyclohexanes, dehydroisomerization of alkylcyclopentanes, and dehydrocyclization of paraffins and olefins to yield aro atics; isomerization of substituted aro atics; and hydrocracking of paraffins which produces gas, and inevitably coke, the latter being deposited on the catalyst.
  • a multifunctional catalyst which contains a metal hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (hydrogen transfer) component, or components, usually platinum, substantially atomically dispersed on the surface of a porous, inorganic oxide support, such as alumina.
  • the support which usually contains a halide, particularly chloride, provides the acid functionality needed for isomerization, cyclization, and hydrocracking reactions.
  • Reforming reactions are both endothermic and exothermic, the former being predominant, particularly in the early stages of reforming with the latter being predominant in the latter stages.
  • a reforming unit comprised of a plural ty of serially connected reactors with provision for heating the reaction stream as it passes from one reactor to another.
  • Fixed-bed reactors are usually employed in semi- regenerative and cyclic reforming, and moving-bed reactors in continuous reforming.
  • the entire reforming process unit is operated by gradually and progressively increasing the temperature to compensate for deactivation of the catalyst caused by coke deposition, until finally the entire unit is shut-down for regeneration and reactivation of the catalyst.
  • cyclic reforming the reactors are individually isolated, or in effect swung out of line, by various piping arrangements. The catalyst is regenerated by removing coke deposits, and then reactivated while the other reactors of the series remain on stream. The "swing reactor” temporarily replaces a reactor which is removed from the series for regeneration and reactivation of the catalyst, which is then put back in the series.
  • the reactors are moving-bed reactors, as opposed to fixed-bed reactors, with continuous addition and withdrawal of catalyst. The catalyst descends the reactor in an annular bed and is passed to a regeneration zone where it is regenerated, the sent back to the reforming zone. This cycle is continuously repeated.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,992,465 teaches a two stage reforming ' process wherein the first stage is comprised of at least one fixed-bed reforming zone and the second stage is comprised of a moving-bed reforming zone.
  • the teaching of U.S. Patent No. 3,992,465 is primarily to subject the reformate, after second stage reforming to a series of fractionations and an extractive distillation of the C 6 -C 7 cut to obtain an aromatic-rich stream.
  • the catalyst may be either onofunctional or bifunctional.
  • the Group VIII noble metal for catalysts in all stages is platinum and the catalyst of the first stage is comprised of platinum and tin on substantially spherical alumina support particles.
  • an aromatics-rich stream is separated and collected between stages and the remaining aromatics-1ean stage is sent to second stage reforming.
  • the sole figure hereof depicts a simplified flow diagram of a preferred reforming process of the present invention.
  • the reforming process unit is comprised of a first stage which includes a lead reforming zone, which is represented by a lead fixed-bed reactor, and a first downstream fixed-bed reforming zone, which is represented by another fixed-bed reactor, which first stage is operated in semi- regenerative mode, but which may also be designed to operate in a cyclic mode.
  • There is also a second stage which contains two serially connected moving-bed reforming zones in fluid communication with a regeneration zone, which reforming zones are represented by annular radial flow reactors wherein the catalyst continuously descends through the reactors and is transported to the regeneration zone, then back to the reactors, etc.
  • Feedstocks also sometimes referred to herein as reactant streams, which are suitable for reforming in accordance with the instant invention are any hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks boiling in the gasoline range.
  • feedstocks include the light hydrocarbon oils boiling from about 70° F to about 500° F, preferably from about 180° F to about 400° F, for example straight run naphthas, synthetically produced naphthas such as coal and oil-shale derived naphthas, thermally or catalytically cracked naphthas, hydrocracked naphthas, or blends or fractions thereof.
  • a gasoline boiling range hydrocarbon reactant stream which is preferably first hydrotreated by any conventional hydrotreating method to remove undesirable components such as sulfur and nitrogen, is passed to a first reforming stage represented by heater or preheat furnaces, F, and F 2 , and reactors R, and R 2 .
  • a reforming stage as used herein, is any one or more of a particular type of reforming zone, in this figure reactors, and its associated equipment (e.g., preheat furnaces etc.). That is, each reforming stage will contain one or more of the same type of reactor, for example, fixed-bed or moving-bed, but not both.
  • the reactant stream is fed into heater, or preheat furnace, F lt via line 10 where it is heated to an effective reforming temperature. That is, to a temperature high enough to initiate and maintain dehydrogenation reactions, but not so high as to cause excessive hydrocracking.

  • a catalyst typically contains at least one Group VIII noble metal, preferably platinum, with or without a promoter metal, on a refractory support, preferably alumina. Reforming zone R lf as well as all the other reforming zones in this first stage, are operated at reforming conditions.
  • Typical reforming operating conditions for the reactors of this first fixed-bed stage include temperatures from about 800° to about 1200° F; pressures from about 100 psig to about 500 psig, preferably from about 150 psig to about 300 psig; a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of about 0.5 to about 20, preferably from about 0.75 to about 5 and a hydrogen to oil ratio of about 1 to 10 moles of hydrogen per mole of C 5 * feed, preferably 1.5 to 5 moles of hydrogen per mole of C 5 * feed.
  • WHSV weight hourly space velocity
  • the effluent stream from reforming zone R. is fed to preheat furnace F 2 via line 14, then to reforming zone R 2 via line 16. Because reforming reactions are typically endothermic, the reactant stream must be reheated to reforming temperatures between reforming zones.

  • the separation zone will not provide complete separation between the C 4 " components and the C 5 + liquids.
  • the gaseous stream will contain minor amounts of C 5 + components and the liquid stream will contain minor amounts of C 4 ⁇ components and hydrogen.

  • the unit is pressured-up with hydrogen from an independent source until enough hydrogen can be generated in the first stage for recycle. It is preferred that the first stage be operated in semi-regenerative mode, although a cyclic mode can also be used.
  • the remaining hydrogen-rich predominantly C 4 ⁇ gaseous stream from separation zone S L is passed to the second reforming stage via pressure control valve 26 where pressure is reduced to the level required for second stage operation.
  • the amount of pressure reduction will depend on the operating pressure of the second stage separation zone S 2 and the pressure drop in furnaces F 3 and F 4 , reactors R 3 and R 4 , and the connecting piping.
  • the reduced pressure gas from line 25 is mixed with the C 5 + liquid which passes from separation zone Si through a level control valve (not shown) and the mixture is then passed via line 24 to furnace F 3 .

  • Reforming conditions for the moving-bed reforming zones will include temperatures from about 800° to 1200°F, preferably from about 800° to 1000° F; pressures from about 30 to 300, preferably from about 50 to 150 psig; a weight hourly space velocity from about 0.5 to 20, preferably from about 0.75 to 6.
  • Hydrogen-rich gas should be provided to maintain the hydrogen to oil ratio between the range of about 0.5 to 5, preferably from about 0.75 to 3.
  • all of the hydrogen gas is supplied by the hydrogen-rich predominantly C 4 " gaseous stream which passes through pressure control valve 26.
  • Instances may exist in which the gas flowing from the first stage is insufficient to supply the needed hydrogen to oil ratio. This could occur if the feedstock to the first stage was highly paraffinic or had a boiling range which included predominantly hydrocarbons in the 6 to 8 carbon number range. In these instances, hydrogen would need to be supplied from external sources such as a second reforming unit or a hydrogen plant. An additional, but less preferred source of hydrogen would be from compressing and recycling stream 56. This option would require additional compressor or a larger capacity compressor C 2 .
  • Such reforming zones, or reactors are well known in the art and are typical of those taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,652,231; 3,856,662; 4,167,473; and 3,992,465 which are all incorporated herein by reference.

  • the regenerated catalyst is then charged to reforming zone R 3 via line 33 and the cycle of continuous catalyst regeneration is continued until the entire reforming unit (both stages) is shut down, such as for catalyst regeneration of first stage (fixed-bed) reforming, which if operated in a semi-regenerative mode would need to be regenerated from time to time by shutting off the feed and raising the reactors to regeneration temperatures in the presence of an oxygen- containing gas.
